Keeping Her Release Day!

SYNOPSIS:

Julia Fisher was everything to me. I loved her and would have done anything for her. But the night she walked out of my life, after deciding I wasn't good enough for her, I got out of town as fast as I could.After six years, I'm coming home.
Now I am going to make it my mission to rub everything she gave up in her face. No matter how much I still love her, I need to bury it deep inside me because she chose him.
Brian Evans broke my heart—shattered every piece of my soul when he left. He decided that I wasn't worth the wait.Now he's back in town.
He is a constant reminder of the pain that I endured at his hands. I won’t let him break me again.
A lot can happen in six years. People move on, fall in love again, and forget about the pain from the past. Seeing his face, hearing his voice, brings me back to a time when things were simple and love was enough for us.
I can't let him know that a part of me still loves him.
Now that they are brought face to face again, will they destroy each once more or will they discover that things aren't always what they seem? Are some bonds unbreakable? Are some people worth losing everything you have?

Julia Fisher has been in love with Brian Evans for years. Brian Evans knows he is not good enough for Julia but deep down is too selfish to let her go.

Julia is given an opportunity of a lifetime after she graduated high school. The night before she left there was a huge misunderstanding between her and Brian, leaving her with a broken heart.

Fast forward 6 years later. Julia Fisher is happily married to the man that she called a best friend growing up and hasn't thought about Brian since. Until he walks back into her life.

What is Julia supposed to do when she has moved on with her life but still feels such a strong pull with Brian?

What do you do when you realize your life and the future you were creating was built on a lie?

I really liked this book. I will be honest and say that I really thought Brian was a jerk when he came back into town but he definitely became swoon worthy.

“Julia Spencer, I would have never left you if I didn’t think it was what you wanted. You are the very reason I breathe, the only person who ever showed me what it was like to love and have it returned. You are the person I have dreamt about every day since you crashed into me. No matter where I was, who I was with, or how much I didn’t want to think about you, you were there. I haven’t been living without you, I’ve just been existing. Going through life with no real purpose, no passion. Even with as mad as I was, when I saw you again nothing could compete with the love I had for you. You’re it for me, whether you choose me or not.”

Best advice from the book: “If you never jump you’ll never have the chance to fly.”
